About us
The Arts Council has adopted a new policy on opera which sets out how it intends to promote and develop opera in Ireland. Speaking today, Pat Moylan, Chairman of the Arts Council said: "In the same way as the Council approaches its support to other artforms, our new policy is rooted in enabling the public to see the work of opera artists and those involved in producing opera and to widen the availability of opera to Irish audiences. "In delivering our policy, we are aiming to combine our continuing support and funding to key Irish opera organisations with some new developments which will create exciting new opportunities for artists, producers and venues to work together in creating opera, ideally via new types of artistic collaborations and creative partnerships." The Arts Council's new policy on opera arises from a request from the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht in May this year, that the Arts Council should resume responsibility for opera policy and its implementation. Prior to deciding how best to proceed, the Arts Council met with a broad cross section of the opera sector in the autumn of 2011 and listened to the broad range of views and ideas that this process generated. The new policy is distinctive in its approach (from previous policies) because it is focused on building partnerships in Irish opera in the short to medium-term that in the long-term, will benefit the sector - composers, artists, performers and audiences. Chairman Pat Moylan added that the policy: "Aims to enable a distinctive indigenous voice to emerge in opera in Ireland through composition and performance." Mindful of some constraints faced during this economic downturn, the Council intends to deliver on its policy over the medium term (4/5 years commencing next year) by supporting indigenous production and presentation of opera and by continuing to directly support the individual opera artist through opera bursaries and travel and training awards. Support for the production and presentation of opera by the Arts Council will involve continuing to support the work undertaken by two key funded organisations, (Wexford Festival Opera and Opera Theatre Company), while providing additional and complementary opportunities that aim to encourage the opera sector to explore new ways of working. These new funding opportunities are:
This approach is intended to create opportunities for audiences to enjoy indigenous productions of opera across a range of genres and scales including, it is envisaged, the presentation of larger scale work in Dublin and other cities. While open to application from both existing opera companies and new entrants, the new funding opportunities will prioritise high calibre artistic proposals that feature a partnership approach between artists, producers and venues. This prioritisation is intended to enhance the impact and value of the investment of public funding. The new Opera Production Award will be offered twice during 2012. With the first round of funding decisions due in March 2012, it is intended that this will lead to a significant increase in the amount of opera produced in Ireland in 2012. Thereafter, commencing in 2012, Opera Production Award funding decisions will be taken once annually in July, thereby facilitating the production and presentation of opera in the following calendar year. This timeframe is intended to facilitate the forward planning of such work.
The deadline for applications for the new Opera Production Award (i.e. for activity due to take place later in 2012) is Thursday 9 February 2012. For additional information on this award, please see the Arts Council's website. The deadline for applications seeking funding for activities scheduled for 2013 is Thursday 17 May 2012.
Opera Project applications will be sought in advance of twin deadlines of Thursday 29 March (for activity scheduled to take place later in 2012) and Thursday 6 September 2012 (for activity scheduled to take place in the first half of 2013). Additional information on this award will be made available on the Arts Council website early in 2012.
Opera bursaries and travel and training awards will continue to be offered to individual practitioners. Applications for opera bursaries are due on Thursday 12 July 2012.

WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Texas -- Dozens of families were forced out of their homes after a devastating fire. Now they're getting a special surprise in time for Christmas.
Around 2 a.m. Thursday, firefighters were called to the International Residence apartments.
Fire shot 30 feet into the air and quickly spread to three different apartment buildings. Sixty-eight units were destroyed, leaving families homeless just days before Christmas.
Everyone has found a new place to stay, but families tell KVUE they lost their clothing, photographs, vehicles and other belongings. Donations have been pouring into the Red Cross, Salvation Army and other outside collection drives.
On Christmas Eve, volunteers are adopting families who have children that attend Forest North Elementary School. The volunteers will bring hot meals and gifts to the families to help replace the things otherwise lost in the fire.
The Austin Disaster Relief Network is helping many people who lost important belongings, such as a motorized scooter that was damaged.
If you'd like to offer any donations, you can do so through the Red Cross of Central Texas.

About JB
What is JB's own personal philosophy on life? "Good business is followed by good business." If you treat others right then they'll treat you right. A self-described driven, laid back guy, JB knows that it takes more than just raw talent to reach the top. JB started rapping when he was just 13 years old. His cousin Sam was the first to get him into entertainment. She pushed him to do talent shows and to perform, and even though she passed away, he'd gotten a taste of it and wanted more. During his young adulthood JB encountered tough times and grew up with a parent on drugs. Dealing with the harsh environment that comes with a family of addicts, he struggled to find his place in life. But after a brief run in with the law, he realized he needed to wake up if he ever wanted to rise above the problems he saw in the world. Even with his difficult background, JB chooses to be positively influenced by what he sees in the world and music around him. Sick of all of the aggressive music ... Read More

Derek Lam - New York Fall 2009
View Gallery
(NEW YORK) Derek Lam's Fall 2009 collection may have been a PETA nightmare with all the sumptuous leather and fur, but it was a chicette's dream. A luxurious mélange of knits with shimmering sequins, leather pants (a key look this season) and fox or coyote fur stoles, Lam's collection put him on the level of Ralph Lauren for classic American sportswear. "Interiors, and layering of texture, shine and matte," Lam said of his inspirations this season. "Just making a very sensual statement." When Lily Donaldson closed his show in a shining gold panné velvet dress, editors' (and Barneys Julie Gilhart's!) pens went flying-could we have an Oscar dress on our hands?

Celebrity Cruises New Year Greeting
Happy New Year!
As we kick off the New Year, I'd like to thank you for your support of Celebrity Cruises in 2011. Whether you sailed with us, thought about sailing with us, or are a Travel Partner who markets and sells Celebrity vacations, you have my appreciation. I know determining where and when to go on vacation is a very important decision. Entrusting us with that precious time is something all of us at Celebrity take very seriously, and we appreciate and enjoy the opportunity to serve you.
I'd like to also extend thanks to our exceptional Crew Members. They are the people who deserve all the credit for the incredible vacation experience we deliver, and I may be biased, but I truly believe our Crew Members are the best in the industry.
As I reflect on 2011, I am amazed by how much took place. We took delivery of our fourth stunning Solstice Class ship, Celebrity Silhouette, in July and held formal naming ceremonies in the charming city of Hamburg, Germany. In November, we celebrated the ship's Stateside debut in Cape Liberty, NJ, with a series of special events preceding the ship's first 12-night Caribbean season. Our second of four Millennium Class ships, Celebrity Infinity, was Solsticized an ambitious three-week revitalization. We launched a new brand positioning - "Modern Luxury" - which we believe perfectly captures the essence of what the Celebrity brand is all about.
The year also was rich with awards and accolades. In fact, we were fortunate enough to receive more awards in 2011 than ever before. And while we are grateful for all, three of them made us particularly proud: In the prestigious Conde Nast Traveler magazine's annual Readers' Choice Awards, Celebrity was named the "World's Best Large-Ship Line," while in CruiseCritic's discerning annual Editors' Picks Awards, Celebrity was named "Best for Dining." Our invaluable Travel Partners also honored us in Travel Weekly's annual Readers' Choice Awards, voting Celebrity "Best Premium Cruise Line" and "Best Cruise Line in Europe."
It was an exciting year, and I anticipate 2012 will be the same. We're gearing up for the launch of our fifth Solstice Class ship, Celebrity Reflection in October, and the completion of our $140-million Solsticizing initiative.

Isn't there a fire you can be fighting right now?
Yea, why ruin it with some lettuce when you have tomatoes like that.
our tomatoes are doing really well, but people keep stealing them from us. We always see the ones just before they are ready and always say, "lets eat them tomorrow". Then, when we come the next day, they are gone. Its not rodents or anything... just rude people passing by. Really sucks.
I had a big pineapple tomato turning, and went to pick it and a slug had hollowed it out from underneath.
The cherry tomatos are going nuts right now. We're saving the lettuce for them. Making BLT salads--quarter the cherry tomatoes, sprinkle with sea salt, and let drain for a bit. Mix up a dressing of mayo, red wine vinegar, and lots of black pepper. Stir in the tomatoes and some chopped scallions, then put on a bed of lettuce and top with chopped bacon. We've got so many cherry tomatoes right now that I'm using some of them to check my sharpening.
Now is not the time to bother me. And it's always now. Wiley Miller
Where we live the fog "reigns" during the summer which means we have given up growing out own tomatoes. But. We have a wonderful source of San Marzanos grown in Watsonville!! I cook them in a slow oven for 6 hours or so, put them through a tomato mill and freeze the most wonderful sauce/paste you have seen!

Politicians from all over the country, including Kansas have released the following statements on the shooting in Tucson, Arizona.
President Obama
"This morning, in an unspeakable tragedy, a number of Americans were shot in Tuscon, Arizona, at a constituent meeting with Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. And while we are continuing to receive information, we know that some have passed away, and that Representative Giffords is gravely wounded.
We do not yet have all the answers. What we do know is that such a senseless and terrible act of violence has no place in a free society. I ask all Americans to join me and Michelle in keeping Representative Giffords, the victims of this tragedy, and their families in our prayers."
Vice President Joe Biden
"The horrific attack in Tucson, Arizona, this morning has taken the lives of at least five people, including a federal judge and a young girl, and left many others wounded, among them a dear friend, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.
Gabby is one of the finest members of Congress I know. She is a principled leader and a consensus-builder. She has spent her time in office working her heart out to improve the lives of the people she represents. And she loves her husband and family above all else. On this tragic day, Jill and I are praying for Gabby's recovery, and we hold her family in our hearts.
Chief Judge John Roll was a dedicated jurist whose death is a terrible loss to Arizona and to the country.
We do not yet know the motivation behind these shootings. But what we do know is that there is simply no justification, no rationale for such senseless and appalling violence in our society.
Please join Jill and me in praying for each of today's victims and for their families and loved ones."
Chief Justice John Roberts, U.S. Supreme Court
"The violence in Arizona today has senselessly taken five lives and inflicted tragic loss on dedicated public servants and their families. We in the judiciary have suffered the terrible loss of one of our own. Chief Judge John Roll was a wise jurist who selflessly served Arizona and the nation with great distinction, as attorney and judge, for more than 35 years. I express my deepest condolences to his wife Maureen and his children, as well as the other victims and their families. Chief Judge Roll's death is a somber reminder of the importance of the rule of law and the sacrifices of those who work to secure it."
Rep. Mike Pompeo, R-Kansas
"I am deeply saddened to learn of the attack on Congresswoman Giffords, her staff and constituents. Today's tragic events in Tucson, Arizona have left us all in shock and disbelief. My thoughts and prayers are with the Giffords family, friends and staff members who are dealing with this horrific event.
"I join those in the 4th Congressional District of Kansas and across America who also hold up in prayer those who were killed, including United States Federal District Court Judge John Roll. May those affected by the shootings find peace and comfort in the days ahead."
Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kansas (former Congressman)
"The shooting that took place in Tucson today is a tragedy for Congresswoman Giffords, her family, staff and the nation. The congresswoman brings Washington back to the people, and understands the value of listening to the concerns of her constituents.
"Robba and I are keeping Congresswoman Giffords, her family, the other victims – including a child – and their families in our thoughts and prayers during this trying time. I humbly ask all Kansans to join us in remembering them as we wait for additional information on this terrible tragedy."
House Democratic Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-California
"It is with the deepest sadness that we have received word of the attack on Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, members of her staff, and her constituents. This terrible act of violence is a national tragedy, and today is a very sad day for our country.
"My prayers, and the prayers of all Members of Congress, go out to her husband, Captain Mark Kelly, their family, and to all of the staff and others who were victims of this horrible attack.
"Congresswoman Giffords is a brilliant and courageous Member of Congress, bringing to Washington the views of a new generation of national leaders. It is especially tragic that she was attacked as she was meeting with her constituents whom she serves with such dedication and distinction.
U.S. Sen. Frank R. Lautenberg, D-N.J.
"We are all shocked and saddened by the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and other innocent people today. Rep. Giffords was innocently pursuing her interest in serving the public when she was shot in this maniacal act. America must not tolerate violence or inflammatory rhetoric that incites political violence."
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio
"I am horrified by the senseless attack on Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and members of her staff. An attack on one who serves is an attack on all who serve. Acts and threats of violence against public officials have no place in our society. Our prayers are with Congresswoman Giffords, her staff, all who were injured, and their families. This is a sad day for our country."
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder
"Today's tragedy in Arizona was a senseless act of violence that has already resulted in devastating loss, including the death of Chief United States District Court Judge John Roll and four other individuals and the wounding of Representative Gabrielle Giffords and a number of others. All of those who were killed or injured and their families are in our thoughts and prayers.
"As the President said, FBI Director Mueller is traveling to Arizona to help coordinate the investigation. The FBI is working jointly with local law enforcement to investigate today's events, and I have directed Department prosecutors and law enforcement officials to use every resource necessary to investigate this tragedy. I want to assure the people of Arizona and every American that we will hold accountable anyone responsible for these heinous acts."
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin
"My sincere condolences are offered to the family of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and the other victims of today's tragic shooting in Arizona.
"On behalf of Todd and my family, we all pray for the victims and their families, and for peace and justice.
"I am deeply saddened by reports that Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, Chief Judge John Roll and others were attacked this afternoon in Tucson, Arizona. There is no place in our society or discourse for such senseless and unconscionable acts of violence. Gabby is a steadfast representative for southern Arizona and both she and John are dedicated public servants.
"The Department of Homeland Security has offered all possible assistance to the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff's Office, who are leading the investigation. My thoughts and prayers are with Congresswoman Giffords, her family and staff, and all those who were injured in this difficult time."
Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minnesota
"My tears are flowing, and I am stunned and angered that Gabby Giffords was savagely gunned down while performing her congressional duties. I am praying for Gabby, and my thoughts, prayers, and deepest sympathy go out to her family, as well as the families of each of the victims.
"Gabby Giffords governed with integrity and wisdom. We came to Congress together and I had the privilege of knowing her as a friend and colleague.
"It is my hope and expectation that the coward who carried out this horrific act of violence will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I extend my hand of friendship to her family and staff and will keep them in my prayers."
Randy Pullen, Arizona GOP chairman
"Arizona's Republicans are deeply saddened and mortified by the horrific shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and the other 11 victims at an event this morning in Tucson.
"Senseless acts of violence like these are shocking, disturbing and have no place in our country. The thoughts and prayers of all Arizonans are with the victims and families during this terrible tragedy in our state's history. We sincerely hope that the responsible party is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
Republican Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky
"This senseless attack today in Tucson is a national tragedy, and all America mourns those who lost their lives in the very act of public service. I join the entire Congress in condemning this horrifying act of violence, and on behalf of the entire Senate family, Elaine and I extend our deepest expressions of sympathy and heartfelt prayers to Rep. Giffords and the families of those who have been killed or injured. The U.S. Capitol Police are joining local, state and federal officials in this investigation. We appreciate their quick response and stand ready to assist in their efforts."
Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona
"I am horrified by the violent attack on Representative Gabrielle Giffords and many other innocent people by a wicked person who has no sense of justice or compassion. I pray for Gabby and the other victims, and for the repose of the souls of the dead and comfort for their families. I beg our loving Creator to spare the lives of those who are still alive, heal them in body and spirit, and return them to their loved ones.
"Whoever did this; whatever their reason, they are a disgrace to Arizona, this country and the human race, and they deserve and will receive the contempt of all decent people and the strongest punishment of the law."
Rep. Mike Ross, co-chair of the Blue Dog Coalition
"It is with profound sadness that the members of the Blue Dog Coalition received the news of this terrible act of violence against Congresswoman and fellow Blue Dog Coaliton member Giffords and members of her staff. She is not only an exceptional member of Congress who has dedicated her life to serving the people of Arizona, but a true friend to all of us who have the privilege of serving with her.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to Gabby, her family and the members of her staff."
Former Rep. Rahm Emanuel (former White House chief of staff)
"What occurred today in Arizona is a senseless and horrific tragedy. Gabby is a friend, a former colleague, and a respected public servant who was doing what she loved most: meeting her constituents. She will be in Amy and my thoughts and prayers as she fights for her life, as will all of the victims."

I like Red Robin because I can make any burger a veggie burger and you get never ending french fries. Although the veggie burgers aren't homemade, but I don't know of chain places that typically have homemade veggie burgers.

I think this calls for a little classification

A community is defined by its green spaces – the parks, open places, wildlife areas and historic sites that connect us to our rural and cultural heritage, and improve the quality of our everyday lives.
The Ophir Valley near Telluride has long been recognized by locals and visitors as one of Colorado's rare, unspoiled wilderness gems – now, that recognition is shared by Washington and the entire U.S.
Thanks to the efforts of Colorado's congressional delegation – Senators Mark Udall and Michael Bennett as well as Congressman John Salazar – the U.S. Congress recently approved an additional $1 million appropriation to protect key lands in the Ophir Valley. Support for the effort, which will consolidate critical in-holdings in the heart of the San Juans, also came from a Federal program called the Land and Water Conservation Fund.
Using $2.32 million in previously appropriated LWCF funds, the United States Forest Service was able last week to increase the Uncompahgre National Forest by 264 acres.
Funding provided in previous fiscal years had allowed the USFS to begin to acquire 1,200 acres of patented mining claims in Ophir Valley, thereby consolidating public ownership, protecting wildlife corridors and ensuring public access for recreation.
The preservation of these vital wilderness lands represents a cooperative effort between the citizens of the Town of Ophir and of San Miguel County, together with conservation and recreation organizations and the U.S.F.S.
Hiking, camping, mountain biking and cross-country skiing attract thousands of visitors to this magnificent valley each year. The Ophir Valley contains the Howard's Fork, a headwater tributary of the San Miguel River, and is home to numerous native wildlife species, including the threatened Canada Lynx and the endangered Uncompahgre Fritillary butterfly.
Consolidating Forest Service ownership prevents the building of homes in inappropriate places, thus protecting delicate ecosystems and the scenic splendor of the area. After all, it is this wild scenic beauty that draws the visitors who support our local tourism-based economy.
The Trust for Public Land, a national conservation organization, is handling the real estate transaction. This year, TPL plans to acquire another 200 acres, resolving many pending land use and access conflicts that stem from the development of private land within public lands.
The Land and Water Conservation Fund was created to preserve such outdoor recreation resources as parks, trails, and wildlife lands. A simple and logical plan whereby revenues from offshore oil and gas royalties are reinvested into land protection and outdoor recreation, LWCF is only now being used to its full potential. Congress is currently considering legislation that would permanently dedicate funds to the LWCF at its authorized level of $900 million. Permanent and full funding of this program is vital to the protection of our nation's last wild places.
We are very grateful for Senators Udall and Bennett and Congressman Salazar's commitment to the citizens of Colorado. Their efforts in making this project a reality and their support of the invaluable Land and Water Conservation Fund represent a critical investment in the future which will pay dividends for our communities and our public lands for generations to come.
– The Town of Ophir and San Miguel County

I have stayed a several fine Embassy Suites . This hotel is nasty! The rooms carpet was very dirty and wet in spots. Upon gettin out of bed I noticed a blood on the side of the bottom sheet. If you have a choice avoid the place.
NEVER GO TO THE Embassy Suites Nashville Airport – My sister just got married at the Embassy Suites in Nashville ( airport). We spent almost a year planning her wedding together. We met Amber (catering manager) and though that she was dry and cold, but were hoping for the best on the day of. We recieved the worst service known to man!! I have had better service at McDonald's than what we got on her wedding day! If it had just been one or two small things I would have let it go, however, not a single guest (out of 115) was satisfied with their service or meal. The food was terrible!! NOT AT ALL WHAT WE TASTED AT THE TAST TESTING!!!!!! People had their plates taken from them while they were still eating, guest's belongings were kicked by the staff if they were in the way of the servers. I was told I could not have a tea because it was not included in the meal (so were other guests), Not A Single GUEST Had WATER REFILS! I personaly had to refill the guest's water!! The chicken was cold and pink, I have never seen any server ever treat people the way we were treated!!! Guests were shoved out of the way, the server snapped rudely at me like I was bothering her when I told her that they took my husband's plate before he could eat any of it. He had just stepped away to the restroom. She brought back a cold nasty plate of chicken, even though he had beef, and slammed it so hard on the table that every other person sitting there stopped talking to see what happened and saw her being so rude. I have been flooded with complaints and concerns from so many guests since the wedding that I have been in tears several times! THE WORST CRIME OF ALL, we found out the next day that some of our most important guests left because they were told by the head server that since there wasnt room at the reserved table they would not be served or spoken to. This should have been the best night of her life, and it is stained with embarrassment!!! NEVER EVER EVER GO HERE!!!
At this upscale, all-suite hotel chain, guests enjoy abundant amenities and a free cooked-to-order breakfast. – In Short
In 1984, the first Embassy Suites location debuted in Overland Park, Kan. Today, the property's luxury accommodations make it an ideal hotel for conferences, special events and weddings.

Dip into these tips to get your lube practices up to speed.
Improper lubrication is among the leading causes of gearbox failure. Thus, it makes sense that proper lubrication plays a key role in achieving satisfactory performance and extending the life of gear (or speed) reducers. Let's review some important points.
A big step toward success is choosing the proper lubricant from one of two basic types: mineral-based or synthetic (with the most common synthetic types being hydrocarbon polyalphaolefins [PAOs] and polyalkylene glycols [PAGs]). That choice should be predicated on a product's characteristics—i.e., viscosity, viscosity index, pour point and additive package.
Conversely, choosing and/or using the wrong product, wrong viscosity, wrong additives, etc., are steps toward improper lubrication. Likewise, not maintaining the correct oil-fill level, operating the gearbox with dirty or contaminated oil and other poor lube practices also can be the kiss of death for your equipment.
Lubricant function in gear reducers
In all speed reducers or gear drives, friction is created between internal moving components. The primary function of the lubricant is to minimize the friction caused by the sliding and rolling action of the gears and bearings and to dissipate heat by providing a thin layer of oil between moving components. With a typical thickness of just 0.00005 of an inch, this layer of oil, known as elastohydrodynamic (EHD) film, separates the mating surfaces of components, preventing metal-to-metal contact and minimizing wear. If the EHD film is insufficient for the transmitted load, metal-to-metal contact of the mating surfaces occurs and causes pitting of gear teeth. No EHD film—or an insufficient amount of it—can also cause scuffing of the gear teeth and leads to bearing and gear failure.
The most important properties to consider when choosing the correct lubricant for a gear reducer are viscosity, viscosity index and pour point.
The lubricant chosen for a specific application should have an ISO viscosity suitable for the ambient temperature in which the reducer is expected to operate. The lubricant must be able to maintain the EHD film when subjected to the forces created by the application. Insufficient viscosity will cause metal-to-metal contact and premature wear—and even possible catastrophic failure. As the operating loads on a gear reducer increases, the reducer operating temperature and required viscosity increases.
Gear reducer maintenance
The correct amount of oil must be maintained in a gear reducer to ensure long and satisfactory performance. If the reducer operates with an insufficient amount of oil, premature gear or bearing failure can occur due to oil starvation. Over-filling the reducer, however, will create excessive churning that leads to excessive air entrapment. If this occurs, overheating will most likely result due to the reduced ability of the air and oil mixture to dissipate heat. To get the most accurate reading, the oil level should be checked with the reducer not operating and after the reducer has had sufficient time to cool.
On new applications, the reducer should be operated under normal loads for approximately two weeks. During this "break-in" period, fine particles of metal will be removed from the mating surfaces of the internal components and gears. After the two-week break-in period, the oil should be drained and the reducer flushed to remove all metal particles. The drain plug must also be cleaned prior to re-installation. To reduce cost and waste, the break-in oil can be filtered and re-used in the reducer. The reducer oil level should always be maintained to the proper level as indicated by the manufacturer.
Considering oil life
As a gear reducer operates, the lubricant begins to break down and oxidize. This process, along with the starting and stopping of the reducer, causes sludge and varnish deposits to form along with acids. The acids can attack yellow metals such as bronze gears or bearing cages. Sludge formation prevents effective lubrication and interferes with the elastohydrodynamic oil film and can cause metal-to-metal contact between moving components.
That's why gear reducers—like any other types of mechanical equipment—should have a preventive maintenance (PM) schedule for changing the lubricant. The schedule is dependant on the local conditions in which the speed reducer operates and the type of oil selected. The lubricant should be changed every 2500 hours under normal operating conditions. In extremely harsh environments, the lubricant must be changed more frequently.
In helical or spur-gear speed reducers, the operating hours between oil changes can be extended with the use of synthetic lubricants. Typically, when extremely cold or hot ambient conditions exist, a synthetic should be selected. An added benefit of synthetic oil is that it tends to reduce the overall operating temperature of the reducer. For worm-type speed reducers, PAGs are very effective in reducing sliding friction and extending the operating hours before a lubricant change is required.
Extreme pressure (EP) additives—such as graphite or sulfur-phosphorus—are highly effective in reducing friction. These types of lubricants, however, generally should not be used with internal backstops or brakes that rely on friction to operate correctly. The manufacturer of the speed reducer should be contacted if there's any doubt about the suitability of EP lubricants.
In addition to decreased lubricant life, excessive operating temperatures can lead to increased lubricant contamination. The surface temperature of a heavily loaded speed reducer can exceed 200 F degrees.
Once the reducer is shut off, it starts to cool, and condensation begins to form on the inside of the gear case. Over time, depending on ambient conditions, the amount of water forming on the inside of the gear reducer housing can be substantial. This type of contamination can lead to bearing and gearing failure. The condensation displaces the lubricant and results in an insufficient oil film between mating components. Depending on the severity of the water contamination, the frequency of servicing the lubricant may need to be as short as 250 hours. Proper selection of desiccant filters and breathers will help minimize condensation damage.
Gear reducers operating under heavily loaded conditions at slow speeds will generate high operating temperatures. This high operating temperature decreases the useful life of the lubricant and results in more frequent lube changes. This is true for both mineral-based and synthetic lubricants. In fact, the useful life of a typical mineral-based product at 200 F can be as short as 2000 hours.
Bottom lines
Selecting the proper lubricant and maintaining and implementing a good oil sampling and analysis program will help to determine the proper servicing intervals of your gear reducers. Changing out a lubricant more frequently than necessary will result in wasted resources and drive up maintenance cost. Not changing the oil when needed, however, will lead to premature reducer damage and possible catastrophic failure. Keep in mind that the proper selection of a lubricant and establishment of a routine PM program will result in less equipment downtime and higher productivity. LMT

Dr. David Reiss had never heard of diabetes until age 16, when he found out he had type 1 during his college physical exam. He rebelled and refused injections for a year, but by then there were ketones in his urine and he had no choice. That was 42 years ago, when people gave themselves just one injection a day.
There was no home monitoring; instead, Dr. Reiss went to his doctor for a blood test every three months. The day before a test, he would be very careful about what he ate because he wanted to "do well on the test." A few days after the test, he'd receive a letter in the mail stating that his blood sugar was too low or high and telling him to raise or lower his single daily shot of lente insulin by a few units.
Diabetics Don't Tell
Dr. Reiss didn't like to tell people that he had diabetes. He would occasionally tell a girl he was dating, and the next thing he knew, her parents wouldn't let her go out with him. He doesn't advertise it now, but he doesn't hide it either. He says, "I just don't care like I used to."
After college Dr. Reiss pursued his medical education, in Mexico first and then at the Joslin Center and in New York. He says that while training at the Joslin Clinic, "I had myself phenotyped and found that I'd inherited the gene for diabetes from my mother. She always blamed herself because she didn't breastfeed me as an infant."
In 1980, he moved to California, where he's been with Kaiser ever since. From 1980 to 1997, he was the only endocrinologist for all of Orange County. Since then two more have been hired, but the shortage is still acute.
On the Pump
About eight years ago Dr. Reiss went on the pump, after resisting previously because he thought it would feel "like a ball and chain." He's on the Paradigm MiniMed pump now, and he loves it. He tried their sensor, the one that links to the pump and reads off the blood sugar every five seconds, but it wasn't accurate enough for him.
Currently he recommends either the Animas or the Medtronic pump to his patients, but not the sensor with the pump. He uses fingersticks, pricking his fingers 15 times a day, because they meet his standard for accuracy.
With regard to complications of diabetes, Dr. Reiss says ruefully, "You name it, I've had it." He attributes his problems to the ignorance and lack of technology that prevailed when he was younger. If they'd had A1c's and home monitoring, he says, if they'd known good control made a difference…but they didn't know. He doesn't doubt that if "we knew then what we know now," he'd be a much healthier man.
Still Robust
He's still going strong, nevertheless. He works out every single day and looks robust, much like the pull-up and push-up champion that he was in college. His wife is a gourmet cook, and he eats healthy meals. He tells his patients to judge by the color of the food: If it's bright red, green, orange, yellow, it's good; if it's drab, pale and washed out, be careful. "Watch the quality and limit the quantity, and exercise every single day," he says. His A1c is 6.9%
Dr. Reiss isn't optimistic about a cure. He notes that about twenty years ago, he was constantly hearing that a cure was due within five years, but nothing ever materialized. He thinks the drug companies are "making a heck of a lot of money on diabetes." There are much better treatments now, he admits, but regarding a cure, "they haven't gone anywhere near where they could have gone."

So just a question or two. can you travel from state to state with your gun.
I suppose you can do so with your own gun.
If so why is it you can't purchase a gun from another state and bring it home without a ffl.
I know this only applies to a pistol only seeing I bought a rifle in Kentucky and I live in Illinois.
9 out of 10 armed robbers agree that you should not own guns or conceal them. The other 10% stole the survey.

Google "FOPA." It isn't as simple as you appear to believe.
Some states don't mind if you travel through with a gun, other states mind very much. The Federal law is supposed to take care of that, but it begins with the premise that possession and carry of the gun(s) is legal in the place where the journey begins AND in the place where the journey will end. It spells out the specific conditions under which firearms may be transported (not "carried") in order to fall under the protection of the law.

A lot depends on whether you're just passing through or plan to stay awhile. And it can also depend on whether your talking about handguns or long guns.
If you're only passing through, the FOPA (federal law dealing with traveling with guns between States) can apply, but only if you satisfy its requirements. And we seen reports of people having trouble in a number of State, principally New York and New Jersey, even when they've complied with the FOPA. If you Google "FOPA, safe passage" you'll get links to a number of discussions of the law on various gun boards as well as some further explanation of the law's requirement.
If you're planning on staying some place, you'll need to do some research on the laws there regarding possession of guns. Handgunlaws.us can be useful. This is also a good source for some useful books for someone traveling with guns.
If you're interested in the details, I go through them in this post.

We're getting ready to transit Mordor (better known, I guess, as Illinois) on our way to Wisconsin, so I checked on the federal statutes contained in the McClure-Volkmer Act of 1986 ... as I read them, if you are passing through and don't plan any stops other than for gas, food or an emergency, you can travel through such backwaters if the gun you're carrying is legal for you to own in your home state and in the state you are heading for. Having a CHL makes it a lot easier to confirm that info. In the case of IL, tho I may not have to go to these lengths, I'm planning on taking a locking case and unloading, breaking down and locking up my EDC in the case and in the trunk. Ammo stored separately, also in a locking case. I think I may be going overboard on all that, but the idea of being busted there for something I can do every day in the Republic of Texas is really annoying ... All the other states we will be driving through honor my CHL, so no problems there ... Incidently, just got a great reference book, the 2012 edition of the Traveler's Guide to the Firearms Laws of the Fifty States. got mine through Amazon ...

In Illinois, just unload the gun, case it and throw it in the trunk. A case in your trunk doesn't need to be locked.

The Illinois Supreme Court ruled on 10/8/2009 (Docket # 106367) that the Center Console of a vehicle was a case and a firearm could be carried in the closed Center Console.
If you are driving through Illinois and the weapon is not in a glove box or center console or trunk of the car, and a police officer sees it - you'll go to jail.
You'll also be fighting the Illinois Attorney General for a long long time before you get your gun back - if ever.

I believe the Illinois laws do not specifically say that the ammo must be in a separate container or space.
So if you gun is UNLOADED and in a case say in the back of the car or the trunk - i have a jeep so there is not trunk, the ammo can be with it or the magazines that are loaded can be with it, but the gun itself cannot be loaded.
This is all you have to do to be legal.
But if you were stopped in Chicago they would probably harass you anyway and probably take your gun because the Chicago Police are rude like that. I am not just saying, they tried shoving me up on the cruiser and arrest me once for nothing but working on my motercycle after work when I was younger cause they thought i looked like a gang banger. I do not like their attitudes!

I'm going to be traveling to NC soon and was wanting to know basically the samething. In WV the guns I plan to take to NC are completely legal, but I don't know about NC. And I'll be traveling through VA. I know my .22 revolver should be completely legal, but my 9mm is another question. It holds 16 rounds, is this legal in NC? The guns will be in separate cases in the trunk and ammo will be stored in another container.

Personally, I just drive around IL. I don't like to pay to drive on their pot hole full roads, and I don't like their gun laws.
Yes, it is easiest/closer for me to drive through Chicago, but I just refuse to do so. I just use it as an excuse to visit friends in MN.

This guy was charged with Aggravated UUW - under IL state law. And no one can understand how he broke state law, as we understand it:
He may have violated Greyhound company policy but that shouldn't get you charged under state law + 50K bail.

Good Morning All,
How many and how many times a day to you take CLA? Also when you you take it? Before meals or after a workout?
Thanks in advance for your response.
Personally I take it 3x daily. I take it 3,5 and 6th meal.
I workout in first thing in the morning...so it is not taken around my workout time.
I am not worried about 12 week photos, just the best results. Do I really NEED to stop taking creatine 10 days before the end?? I would prefer to keep taking it so that I can get best results, not the best pictures, since my goal is not to win a challenge, just THE challenge with myself. :-)
Does it really take 10 days for all of it to leave our systems? I would think 4 days would be enough. Does anyone know how much extra water it makes our bodies hold?
oops posted this in the wrong section! will post elsewhere...
Legs, do you take one or two each time?
Confidence ~
I stopped taking it. I felt soooo much leaner. However, I couldn't lift for poop in my last week. I was whining for my Betagen back.
Keep the faith!
Faithful Renee :0)
Isn't it possible you would have had greater muscle growth, tho, if you had continued taking it? Doesn't it plump up the muscles making them look larger as well? This is what my son tells me.
Karategal: I take one capsule 3x a day.
Legss: Thanks. I am glad to hear that I will still get results. On the bottle it says (2) 3x's a day. I do no know where I got this from. But you can buy it for less at the link below.
Hope everyone is having a great day!
This is a clip from Jessica Mighty Max's post off the old GB. She is our Omega Guru.
"When should you take your Omega 3 supplements?
It's ideal to take it evenly throughout the day with the exception of your post workout meal. Your body needs a good whey protein after workout to quickly feed your muscles and fat will inhibit this process. Post workout is when you want your body to continue acting quickly. Fat is best during your last meal. Many people do not realize this because they know that unauthorized foods are more harmful late in the day. That is true because then your body will turn it to sugar during the night instead of acting on it during the day. It's okay and best to take good fats at night though, because this will keep your system slow and steady throughout the night when your body is looking to replenish and rebuild. "
Karategal: I just started taking CLA a week ago...do not rely on me alone for advice in this. I too am experimenting. I take fish oil and now CLA 1 each 3x daily.
yep, CLA supposed to be 2 caps 3x a day, but Legs your brand might be different...I'm taking the EAS brand...did you order your stuff today??
DebMO :0) Blessed to be a Blessing...
I just checked my CLA. It is 1000g per capsule and they recommend taking 2 capsules twice a day. I was taking 1 - 3x a day. Oops. Thank you for pointing that out for me MO. I will now take 2000g twice a day.
BTW - I am picking up Mr.Betagen on Friday. We cant part yet. :)
